I have entered into a strange, reclusive mood where I don't want to talk to anyone. I don't want to engage people on AIM and I'm doing my best to ignore plurk's existence (with thoughts of deleting my account dancing in my head -- again). The idea of calling up any of my RL friends to go see Iron Man is piles and piles of DNW, even though they haven't done anything to make me feel that way.
When I get like this, it's never a result of being angry at anyone or wanting to avoid a person in particular; I think I just burn out on talking, socializing, empathizing and listening. I am quite possibly the world's biggest introvert. This past week-and-a-bit has had me log into AIM once a day, pray to whatever unfortunate Discworld god might be listening that no one has messaged me, and log out again. (I am not saying that people aren't allowed to message me! On the whole, I prefer one on one conversation and if we talk on a regular basis, I probably like you a lot. But, this is how hard my desire to hide away from socializing and talking has spread -- I just want everyone to stop talking and leave me be, because my reserves are seriously depleted, I am running on empty, this introvert needs to run away screaming for a few weeks.
So the moral of this story is, "message me, but only when I want you to." Way to people, self. I swear soon I'll have recharged and be back to normal.)
I also am, quite possibly, getting the slowest to manifest cold in the history of everything. This after having my appendix (which had been inflamed for about a month, HA) forcibly removed from my body just a week ago.
The next few days -- well, the next few months, really -- are going to be full of entertaining family as they all herd in one at a time. Approaching things like this from an adult perspective is really odd for me, especially since some of the estrangement has started to reverse, but it's only in the last year or so that I've realized how exhausting it is.
I'm taking my aunt's younger brother to see Iron Man 3, which should be fun.
In fact, those who have seen it, give me your impressions! Spoiler-free, please.
